Project:Gel electrophoresis box
Revision as of 21:59, 8 August 2012 by Mycoplasma (talk | contribs)
We made our own electrophoresis box with a laser cutter.
Measurements for the outer box, in mm:
Width: 102.45 to 102.9 (not a perfect glue job) Height to top (container): 31.8 Height to top holes (for electrodes): 22.16 Depth: about 171 Thickness (of the perspex): about 3.2
Measurements for the inner box (which we ended up using, roughly):
Width: 100 Height to top: 20 Depth: 100
So that is two panels measuring 100 x 20 (for the sides), and one panel measuring 100 x 100 (for the bottom).

Open Source Electrophoresis tanks - They sell kits, but we can probably just use their published plans to laser-cut our own. Also [1]
